Q: Can I get your assessment of this company in light of cannacord's recent endorsement as a promising stock for this year (being mindful that it's price jump today has breached the analysts' target price for the year) . Financial Post also noted that iAnthus' inclusion on the upcoming mjna growers index etf may impact its performance to the upside. Your valued thoughts pls

Q: Hi team - Happy New Year!
I'm interested in investing in the bioplastics sector because I'm thinking alternatives to plastics that are made out of natural ingredients and plants that are completely compostable and just as effective (if not more) and durable, and similar in cost, as many conventional plastics that are made out of petrochemicals, will be a growing industry (already growing rapidly in the EU).
I have found a publicly listed company on the Venture in GDNP that's a microcap and they make many bioplastic products. Can you tell me your thoughts on this company. I know its not profitable, but revenues have been increasing and they're predicting they will increase by 50% this year. I'm fully aware of how speculative such a small company like this is, but as a highly speculative play where it would make up a small position in a growth portfolio, what do you guys think? And do they have any major competitors or dominant players already in this industry that I'm not aware of? And if so, would you recommend purchasing one of these major companies (assuming they're publicly listed) instead of GDNP?
Hope you're having a great weekend!
Cheers,

Q: Hello 5i team, Walter Capital and management are taking ERG private. While this offer allows shareholders an exit, it seems like a lowball offer (growth will be renewed as they are starting to roll store into superclinics in Quebec, operations have been mostly but marginally profitable over the last few years, cash is about 10¢ per share), and management negotiated to keep their job and shares. (#1) No liquidity in the stock market => low offer?
Even if I think the probability of a competing bid is close to zero, (#2) I would like your opinion on the probability of a competing bid. As ERG is a micro cap and management do not sell (and stays), and the closing ability of the buyer is very good. The deal has been announced few days ago, , and the special meeting of shareholders will be held in the first quarter (after the circular will be mailed). (#2) From the press release, what month (April?) do you think it could close? I am trying to determine whether to hold until closing or sell immediately. 1/2 ¢ = 1,7% return over 4 months? Even if 5i Research is providing great investment ideas, I am in no hurry to reinvest the cash, as I have been building firepower (reducing leverage) during the past year (RDM, TNC, PJC, AF) in order to prepare for a future market wide buying opportunity.
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: As a follow up to my question on Big Wind Capital, my understanding is that it’s halted right now as it has a DA to acquire 49% of Hill Top Security.

It will come back on the exchange with a US listing as well, new name, Hill Top Cybersecurity Inc.

The symbol already on their new web site, is CYBX.

They will provide a US Government patented blockchain cybersecurity to all Bitcoin transactions worldwide.

In addition they will have a ICO of a new Bitcoin called Minecoin. It will be a medium to allow metals and mining companies to negotiate their transactions safely and securely and eliminate the middleman.

Is my information correct and again, what are your thoughts please.

Thanks!
